Start With Your Walls and Ceilings
You can jazz up your white wall with bright colours and different patterns. This will give an overall festive vibe to your abode. You will feel energetic and enthusiastic with this vibrant décor. If you want to add more colour, you can also paint each room in a different colour scheme for instance red, yellow and green are perfect for Holi, or blue and yellow make a great combination as well. For the interior of rooms, you should opt for neutral shades as they match better with Holi festivities. If you’re worried about painting all walls yourself, you can go in for affordable options like wallpapers or roll prints that are available in multiple patterns making it convenient to choose a pattern according to your liking and preferences.

Changing The Curtains
The most affordable and easiest way to get your home Holi-ready is to get some new curtains. Curtains are an easy way to turn a drab house into a colourful one – they’re perfect for anyone on a budget! Just make sure you find out the right one. Curtains come in a wide variety of colours, patterns, materials, and styles. And curtains will look very attractive if they are used properly with the right kind of wallpapers.

Replace Your Old Cushions
You don’t need to spend a fortune on new cushions, but replacing your old cushions can certainly help you get your home ready for Holi and make sure your cushions go in matching with your curtains and wallpaper design.

This will entirely update your home and make it look like it's new. So, go for a normal cover or you can also get one customized for your home.
Table Runner
Want your home to look festive even before it’s time for Holi? Place a colourful table runner on your dining table, and then carry it from room to room as you go about cleaning. It’ll add colour to your apartment and make it feel more festive—even if you haven’t prepared anything else for Holi yet!
